When I was 22 I went out on a date with a guy who was 30.

It's far more common in that direction (older man younger woman), though. It's less common in the direction the OP is wanting to go. I dated several 19-22 year-old women when I was 30-31, but I sure didn't have 30-31 year old women interested in me when I was 19-22. I'm not saying it's impossible by any stretch (see the aforementioned cougar reference), just that it's significantly less common.
The term originally came from middle-aged women preying on much younger men, because they would go to clubs wearing animal print.
Oh no! Really? I love animal prints. My mom did also. Shoot! I hope that folks don't look at me and think I am a cougar! I would hate to get rid of them.
Oh well...at least I don't go to clubs anymore.
I am in my 30's and while I am attracted to younger men in the under-25 age group, I don't see myself EVER having a lasting relationship someone that young. I simply couldn't do it. Playing around is one thing; taking them seriously as a partner is entirely another story altogether. You'd have to be very secure and matured for your age to consider it.
27 I could possibly see.. don't attempt to find anything lasting with a woman over 30.
Actually in Googling it I came up with other origins (which honestly make more sense than hoards of women all wearing "hunting gear" in the way of animal prints...)
Most of its popularity stems from a 2001 book by Valerie Gibson, called Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men.
When seeking the origin of terms, lexicographers look for printed evidence. In hunting cougars – the term, not the women or the wild cats – I found a March 3, 2001, article in the Globe and Mail of Toronto which credits “cougar” to a Canadian website called Cougardate.com, which the story says was started in 1999. It is, as you have guessed, a website where older women can meet younger men.
The story given in that article is that one of the two women who founded the website was told by a nephew that the two ladies were like cougars in search of small defenseless animals. The nephew said he picked up the term from players on his hockey team. So, 1999 is the earliest probable date we have for the term and it’s fairly reliable.

Not to be tacky, but was at a cookout and ended up chatting nonstop with a "much older" 21 year old the entire time....a lot of same values, interests, liked same music, etc... Nothing there until he dropped to his knees and disappeared under my skirt. That changed things from Memorial Day til Labor Day. At the age of 40, I felt young for the first time ever. (missed it first time) So, to this day I have a weak spot for the younger ones with old souls. Nothing like feeling "alive" after a while. And yes, several have asked me out since and I live in a different state. I don't look, so maybe more are looking for older nowadays?
One night
Hook up
Or serious doesnt matter
Actually I just went to a night club and had a one night stand with hispanic 31 year old i wish there were more people like her thou damn forgot her name and to get her number
Other than that I got really lucky
So basically you are looking to "experience" an older woman like she's a ride at Disney.
Forget it. Women can smell that mindset a mile away. Remember, an older woman has already been where you are, and has already had men your age. A ONS with you is not particularly new or exciting. She had a ONS with a 21-year-old 10 years ago. So unless you have something more to offer than your penis and a potential STD, you're going to be hard up for anything other than drunks, psychos, or women with extremely low self-esteem.
